I would get the plugs checked out to be sure.
The noise could also be the little flimsy inspection cover on the front of the transmission. To rule it out I would remove the two bolts holding it on and take it for a drive to see if the sound went away.

Price all depends on the shop and how easily the old studs come out. You should really get all studs replaced, more will break eventually.

5 studs were broken between the two manifolds on my dads and there was no noises coming from a leak at the manifolds.
The factory studs are stainless as well, however corrosion isn't what causes them to break. The studs are usually sheared off at the base of the threads.

Hey 900...did you get it fixed?? Mine is doing the exact same thing. I replaced the broken studs. It helped, but it still seems to make that noise just like you are talking about. I havnt checked out the inspection plate deal yet. Thanks!
